Make the most of it

Visit Pembrokeshire in autumn

It happens all of a sudden. One morning you wake to find a ‘nip’ in the air. The leaves have faded from darkest green to a warm brown.

Autumn has arrived. The wildlife has a sense of urgency, making its final plans before winter arrives. September is perfect for seal watching as they haul themselves up onto secluded beaches to nurture their murky white, incredibly cute, pups.

The coast path makes a great vantage point to watch these gorgeous pups. Remember to bring your binoculars. It’s best not to get too close, it will scare the pup and you’ll have mum to answer to!

Nowhere’s better in stormy weather than south Pembrokeshire’s Castlemartin peninsula. Here the elemental interplay of land and sea is slow-motion spectator sport of the utmost drama.
